The toll free number said it was okay to pick up the car 30 mins earlier... But the folks at the counter didn't release the car a minute sooner than booking time.

As described on the page, when you rent a car from Alamo in Edinburgh, UK, the service is actually provided by Enterprise. I went to pick up the car at 8 AM and didn't have to wait in line. The whole process of picking up and checking the car was very smooth, and the staff were very responsive.

The pick-up process was very simple, and I was very satisfied with the car. Drove on Sky Island for 7 days without any issues. It was a diesel car, but the tank wasn't full at the start; fortunately, the fuel level was the same upon return as it was during pick-up. The address provided by the rental company was incorrect. They are located on B2, but the information given was for the 2nd floor, causing us to waste time and effort with our luggage.

They handed me the car without a full tank, saying there was no time, and that it would be adjusted for the current fuel level. When I returned the car, they tried to charge me for a full tank, but I caught them and they removed the fee. Also, there was no luggage cover for the trunk when I picked up the car, and I wasn't aware it was supposed to have one. When returning the car, the staff said they didn't know if the other location had provided it, and planned to charge me for it as a loss. Overall, the car was in good condition, relatively new, but there were quite a few hidden charges. Make sure your English is fluent and be vigilant, or you could lose a few hundred pounds.

Although there was a small issue when picking up the car, it was smoothly resolved after conscientious and responsible communication with the platform's customer service. A thumbs-up to the customer service guy! The car was in great condition and very new.
